Jeremy Gardner Associates reviews

I was successful in my interview and offered a position with JGA around a year and a half ago. Having worked as a fire engineer for more than 6 years, I was aware of JGA as a flagship company within the fire engineering community, and one I found were constant competition (and triumphant) when bidding for projects. Although assurances were made during my interview, I was taken aback by the active encouragement, chartership assistance, and progression opportunities I’ve been given to date. I’ve also been blown away by the continued dedication and high standard of work produced from Design Engineers/Associates/Directors alike. This is clearly echoed by the clients I’ve seen returning again and again. All colleagues I’ve met have an active interest in both mine and my partners lives, and we’ve attended the annual JGA conference and odd BBQ, getting to know different team members on a more relaxed and personal level. On a local scale, my Technical Director has been extremely helpful/supportive as I transitioned into my role at JGA. At JGA I feel very appreciated and the salary is generous. The recent acquisition with Jensen Hughes has only improved things further by giving staff the ability to access project servers and work from home if required, more prominent IT equipment and softwares, and access to technical papers/online learning.

I joined the company following the completion of my masters degree and have been with the company for over 13 years! The support given by colleagues at all levels are superb and second to none throughout my careers. Even when I was a design engineer, I was able to contribute massively on projects and have my own voice while working amongst senior colleagues and clients. As a non native employee, the work place and culture make me feel very much at home. There are no discrimination, no office politics, every one is fairly treated and being given equal opportunity to excel. Due to the amount of exposure on a large number of exciting/complex projects during the early stages of my career with JGA, I rise through the ranks quickly during my 20s, and being promoted to Technical Director in my early 30s. JGA also looked after my family well over the years. I appreciate the flexible and common sense approach in dealing with holidays and sick leave where health and family always come first. If you are ambitious, want to make a difference to the world, and be appreciated on your work by external clients and colleagues at the early stages of your career, I would highly recommend JGA.
